Gastric Cancer / Cancer Of The Stomach
Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer

Text

First step involves undergoing a general physical examination and a discussion with the doctor of your medical history.

Endoscopy and Biopsy: Using a small flexible tube with a

light (endoscope), the doctor can insert a small ultrasound device into the stomach to generate a close-up image of your stomach on a computer screen. This procedure may help him determine the extent of the cancer.

Computed Tomography (CT) scan: To see if the cancer has spread to nearby organs, such as the lymph nodes, pancreas and liver, your doctor may have you undergo a CT scan. A CT scan allows your doctor to see your internal organs.

Stomach cancers are also known as gastric cancers. The main treatment for stomach cancer is surgery. Early stomach cancers often have no symptoms. Serious symptoms that might indicate a life-threatening condition.
